Product Description:
Freedom is on the march as the rebellion against the Kurian Occupation of Earth takes the offensive. David Valentine has recruited an ad hoc company of former Quisling soldiers and puts them through a trial by fire with a successful raid against an enemy armory. Now, they’re ready to join forces with a guerilla army planning to establish a new freehold in the Appalachian Mountains.

Valentine knows that a permanent outpost near the East Coast would provide a strategic victory over the Kurians—and he believes that only his old ally Ahn-Kha could be leading the guerillas. But nothing could prepare Valentine’s fighters for what awaits them at the end of their journey.

- Adding depth and setting the stage for a lot more detail
If you've read the rest of the series you can almost start to see all of the subtle little plot hooks fall into place. Valentine is gaining command experience. His Rommel like running in this book may seem a little anti-climactic, but the ingenious nature of this entire story line is that the hero has to give up a lot of his humanity to truly defeat his enemy. He feels guilty about what he's done, like any old soldier he starting to see the faces of his victims as well as his peers in each and every struggle. In true survivalist fashion, the hero must tighten his belt, obtain raw, nearly inhuman reserves of intellect, cunning and rage and overcome an enemy that's grown conceited it's so good at success.

Simply fantastic book and series, I hope to hear more from him soon.

- Losing vitality and energy
It's sad to me when the best part of a book is when old characters that you knew put in a cameo appearance. Fall with Honor was a let down to me because Val seems to just going through the motions. There is an interesting mission and there could be interesting characters, but the writing feels like Knight has gotten bored with writing about this subject and doesn't really give it his best.

Book 7 and Val is taking part in an effort to start another area of human control in a Kurian zone. He's worn down, tired, broken to a greater or lesser degree, but for some reason none of that really matters because he is still Val. The folks who surround him seem to be just different iterations of many similar characters that we fought, served with and hated before. It's frustrating because there is so much more to be told about this series.

What really bothers me is that with a little more work ... Read More

- E. E. Knight is Excellent as Always
Fall with Honor As always, I am so impressed with the research required to do the Vampire Earth books. The geography is outstanding for places that usually only locals would know. The story lines are riveting and so believable. You feel like you know the main characters from his very first book.

- I understand why some might be confussed
This is still a perfectly enjoyable book and I had fun although I will admit certain cracks are starting to show.

The characterization is fine and David Valentine has not changed a bit he still kicks butt and he is still fighting a desperate battle against insurmountable odds these are the good parts. I also like that he actually acquires scares over the course of his long struggle to many times these types of main characters never get a scratch; it just goes to show you that war is hell.

The parts that dragged for me and took the punch out of what was an otherwise great book are

1. the interaction between Valentine and the White Fangs this ability that Valentine has to be a master negotiator all the time in all situations is wearing a little thin for me.

2. Also the interaction between Valentine and the half grog son he adopted named Blake once was fine ... Read More
